  • Zig is “c”, but modern and safe.

    The big selling points compared to Rust are:

    • A better syntax
    • No hidden control flow
    • No hidden memory allocation
    • Really great interop with C (it’s almost as if you just include the C code as you would in a C code base…)
    • Fast compile time
    • it’s more readable
    • it’s simpler to learn

    The syntax is really close to the C language; any C programmer can pick up Zig really fast.

    IMO Zig is a far better choice to go in the kernel than Rust.

    Linux has tried to include CPP in it, and it failed.

    So imagine if trying to fit in a C-like cousin failed, how far they are to fit an alien language like Rust…

    As a Linux only user, I totally agree with your message.

    People who downvote you aren’t of good faith, are delusional or just dumb.

    Linux is better in every single category except ease of use for non-technical users and gaming.

    Let’s stop with this bandwagon of MS bad, Linux good; Linux is good enough for us to not lie and speak the truth…
